Críticas:
If Oliver Tearle's book is half as interesting as his website Interesting Literature, his Twitter feed and his Huffpost blog, it's going to be very interesting indeed (John Lloyd CBE, creator of QI)
A fascinating and engagingly genial stroll through several hundred years of literary anecdote and insight. Tearle is wonderfully good company as of course are the protagonists themselves (Simon Evans, comedian)
If you love books, you'll need this one (Daily Mail)
